Cycle Route
The new cycling route links all 42 English Cathedrals. The route, which is nearly 2000 miles long, has come about thanks to a unique partnership between Cycling UK, the British Pilgrimage Trust, Sustrans and the Association of English Cathedrals.
Shaun Cutler, an entrepreneur and former company director, has worked with these partners to improve the welcome offered at cathedrals and aims to double the number of people visiting cathedrals by bike.
Cyclists can visit as many cathedrals as they like. The full route is published here.
